Photographs: Removed

Would you think the same of an art project that removed, say, watches from people's wrists as they check the time? Or maybe hammers from the hands from people working in construction?

No, because these things don’t isolate us from each other. You have a number of couples in the photographs that are close physically yet miles and miles apart.

Pretty goofy looking without a cellphone

There's one where the phone was covering a lady's face (USA set). I wonder how they did that. Photoshop must be magic

This is nothing new. Couples have been physically together yet miles apart way before phones came around, and still are.

One that removes cars, airplanes, and horses would be great

I’m not sure the phones were “removed” but rather were never actually there.

I am not sure how anyone can withstand the pretentiousness of this idea.
